24 June 2025 – MAASIN CITY, SOUTHERN LEYTE. PRESS RELEASE

The Philippine Statistics Authority Regional Statistical Services Office VIII (PSA RSSO 8) extends its warmest congratulations to the Local Government of Maasin City, Southern Leyte, for successfully integrating the National ID Authentication Services (NIDAS) into the Records Verification System (RVS) of their City Civil Registry Office (CCRO). This remarkable achievement makes Maasin City the first in the Visayas regions and the second nationwide to implement this integration.

A Ceremonial Signing of the Subscription Contract (SubCon) between PSA and LGU Maasin City took place on 24 June 2025. Key PSA officials, including Deputy National Statistician (DNS) Rosalinda P. Bautista, OIC National Statistician Atty. Henedine P. Palabras, and Government Service Use Case Division Chief Oliver P. Chancoco, were in attendance. Hon. City Councilor Mikhael Leonardo V. Mercado signed the contract on behalf of City Mayor Hon. Nacional V. Mercado, with LGU Data Protection Officer Albert J. Maña as a witness.

PSA is deeply grateful for the unwavering dedication of all parties involved in this partnership. NIDAS is a crucial tool for streamlining transactions and combating fraud within the CCRO's processes. Currently, LGU Maasin City is the first in Eastern Visayas to integrate NIDAS, and PSA encourages other government units and relying parties to utilize this free system. We are committed to assisting with onboarding requirements and providing technical sessions, particularly for those with stand-alone systems ready for integration.
